I. PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING
Prayer of Gratitude for the Offer of Salvation
“Father, we thank You for this offer of salvation that came to us and that we received. Thank You because someone shared the gospel with us. Thank You because the grace of salvation came into our hearts. Thank You because we had the opportunity to say yes to Jesus. Thank You because You touched our hearts deeply, and one day our eyes were opened, and we said yes to You. Father, we are so grateful for the privilege of being a child of God. It is an honor, a joy, an immense, immeasurable privilege to be a child of God. In Jesus' name. Amen.”
Prayer for Spiritual Privileges
Dad, this morning we thank You for all the joys and privileges of being born again and being members of God's family and household. It is a privilege to serve God. It is a privilege to serve the cause of Christ. It is a privilege to live for the gospel in our generation. It is a privilege to have access to the heart of the Father. It is a privilege to have access to the glories of the kingdom of God. We are no longer outsiders. We are people of God's household. Hallelujah! In Jesus' name. Amen.
II. PRAYERS FOR SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION
Prayer to Receive Paul's Burden
“O Lord, work on our hearts this morning, that we may understand the value of the salvation we have received. We ask, Father, that You will work significantly in our hearts and lives, so that we too may have these same feelings as Paul. Work in us, Father, remove all that rots our hearts.
We submit to You this morning, Father, because we cannot say what Paul said here, that the dearest wish of our hearts and our prayers is that our generation be saved. Lord of hosts, we want to return to the gospel, to the mandate that Jesus gave us, to go and make disciples of the nations.
May this become the cry of our hearts, may this become the burden of our hearts. In Jesus' name. Amen.”
Prayer to Want What God Wants
“Lord, I ask you to give me a burning desire to see men saved.
Transform my appetites and aspirations so that they align with Your will, for You desire that all be saved.” And I want to want what You want, so I want to want all people to be saved.
Father, I give You carte blanche to completely change my mindset so that I want men to be saved. Let it become an imperative for me, that all men be saved.
Mobilize my heart, fill it with your power, use all my resources, my intelligence, and the entirety of my being, so that I may work for the salvation of all men. In the name of Jesus. Amen.”
Prayer of Total Alignment with God
“Lord, I want to want what You want. I want to love what You love. I want to do what You do. I circumscribe my life in God. I refuse to let anything distract me from my purpose, to desire something else, to explore other paths, or to be seduced by various temptations. You will want only what God desires. You will love what God cherishes. You will act as God would. I align my thinking with God's thinking. I align my desires with God's desires. In Jesus' name. Amen.”
III. PRAYERS FOR EVANGELIZATION
Prayer for the Salvation of Those Around Us
“Father, our prayer this morning is for all the people You have placed in our lives. Our parents, our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our colleagues. The people around us. The people with whom we come into contact every day. Father, we ask, in Your mercy, that our tongue may be like the pen of a skilled writer.
May we speak with the wisdom the Spirit gives. We submit to the Holy Spirit to speak as He wishes and to say the appropriate words. I believe the Holy Spirit will convict, that He will convict of sin, righteousness, and judgment. In Jesus' name. Amen.”
Prayer for Divine Encounters
“Father, we join together in prayer for all the people You place in our path, even those we have never met, but with whom You are preparing a connection.” We pray, Father, that You will pour down upon them the same power that worked through the apostles. May they be touched and convicted of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Lord, give this same grace so that people's hearts will be touched. And they will cry out, 'What must one do to be saved?' This morning, we pray for divine encounters and for proper speaking. In Jesus' name. Amen.”
Prayer of Refusal of Perdition
This morning, Father, we come before You to present to You all these people: those we know and those we have not yet met, but who are on our mission and harvest field. And we say that we refuse to let them go to hell. We refuse to let them be lost forever.
We cannot accept that through our inaction, our negligence, our lack of open-mindedness, or our disobedience, they do not hear the gospel. They must pass from death to life, from condemnation to salvation. We claim them. We refuse to let them be lost. We refuse to let them remain in darkness. In Jesus' name. Amen.
IV. PRAYERS FOR SPIRITUAL LIBERATION
Prayer for the Opening of Spiritual Eyes
“Dad, we thank You because now their eyes are opened, their ears are opened. They receive understanding through the power of the Holy Spirit. What seemed vague, distant, remote, becomes for them a concrete reality, understandable. Where their understanding was closed, their understanding opens in the name of Jesus. Where they paid no attention to what He told them, they are now captivated. Their attention is now captivated. They listen, they absorb, they assimilate, they accept and they receive Jesus. In Jesus' name. Amen.”
Prayer Against Spiritual Blindness
“Your Word tells us that the God of this world has blinded one another. Now Father, let this blindness disappear. We declare this blindness disappear in the mighty name of Jesus. Let the veil the enemy has put over their eyes be removed. Over [mention names], let this blindness disappear. Let what the enemy has put over their eyes be removed. In the name of Jesus, let the blindness disappear! Salvation enter our families, our surroundings. In the name of Jesus. Amen.”
V. PROPHETIC PRAYERS OF DECLARATION
Prayer for Declaration on Families
“We proclaim that salvation enters these families! Salvation enters these families in the name of Jesus! We decree, we proclaim and we declare that salvation enters these families in the name of Jesus! In these families, people who seemed to have hard heads, their ears closed, their hearts are opening.
Begin to understand what they didn't understand before. Begin to receive what they despised before. Begin to value what was not useful to them before. The gospel takes its place in our families! The gospel takes its place in the hearts of our families! In the mighty name of Jesus! Amen.”
Prayer to bear fruit in evangelization
Fruitfulness, fruitfulness, fruitfulness. Fruitfulness, fruitfulness! Those who have never experienced spiritual fruitfulness are about to see souls converted in the name of Jesus! Everywhere I go, I proclaim the gospel. People are attentive to my words and are turning to faith.
People around me listen to me and they are converted.
At work, people listen to me and they are converted.
Everywhere I go, I meet people who listen to me and are converted. The harvest is plentiful!
I will have extraordinary testimonies of massive conversion in the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus. Amen.”
VI. SPECIFIC PROPHETIC PRAYERS
Prayer for Natural Fertility
“Father, I pray for this person who wants to have children. May Your power of the Holy Spirit come upon them, whether it is a man or a woman, may the power of God come upon them. May the impediment in their body disappear, and may the natural, biological, or even spiritual blockage disappear. I declare over this person, fertility in the name of Jesus! Father, we thank You, may Your power work wonderfully in the name of Jesus! Amen.”
Prayer Against Cycles of Disappointment
“I pray for this person who is experiencing cycles of disappointment. There is a lot of hope, and then the hopes are dashed. We say this time it's good, and no, it's not good anymore. And sometimes it's just one little thing that's missing and everything falls apart. There is extreme nervousness because of it, a constant emotional roller coaster. I pray for this person now, I declare that these things are ending. In Jesus' name! The promises will be kept from now on. The promises will be kept from now on. And everything will come to pass according to God's plan. In Jesus' mighty name! Amen.”
VII. PRAYER FOR DIVINE STRATEGIES
Prayer for Divine Direction
“Father, we ask You collectively and individually for strategies and directions for the salvation of our generation. There are things we already know and there are things we do not yet know.
Guide me. Give me strategies. Give me direction for the salvation of my generation and I will obey. I will do what You want. I do not want to remain passive. I do not want to be indifferent. I cry out to You. Give me strategies. This is what we live for. This is what we exist for. In Jesus' name. Amen.”
VIII. FINAL PRAYER OF BLESSING
Closing Prayer and Commitment

Thank You for the change in our outlook. Thank You for the people who will be saved because those who have attended this prayer have allowed themselves to be transformed.
Thank you for all the people who will come to know Christ through us during this time of prayer. Thank you for the grace to live in harmony with You, for the grace to want what You want.
